Board 8 > Hearthstone Discussion Topic: No Take Candle!

(+) Yeah! (+)

(get stuck on mage and druid dungeon for awhile)

(decide to give rogue a whirl for the hell of it since I don't play it much and wanted to see how much of a bitch it would be to complete dungeon for it)

(proceed to clear it first try)

Thank you boosted poison treasure dagger, DK card, spider summons, and captured flag!

Well that and King T not pulling Boots shenanigans...was still close though

I have to say. Control warlock is not going to be a thing until Raza rotates out. Well maybe even after. Like I had a game versus the new control warlock and on turn 5 he ratted out Raza (1 in 3). AND I STILL WON. I mean I was lucky that he didnt get Guldan until a bit late, but he was also lucky he got raza out. He also tapped A LOT. And I'm thinking "What are you doing?" Because I was like purposely not using any of my draw cards and like had psychic scream in my hand and was like "well I can never use this". He was like +5 into fatigue on me.
---

Apparently if you trigger Kalimos' battlecry twice, you can choose different options for each one. Makes sense but I would have guessed you would just choose once and it would happen twice.

Playing against Azari the Devourer as mage:

1. Get lucky and don't have Frost Lich Jaina burned

2. Watch Azari play dreadsteed

3. Cry Tears of Joy

had a run with priest where i had like lyra, buffs, radiants, etc. I picked stealth. VERY NEXT MATCH on like boss 6 I get candlebeard.

It didn't go well.
---

Not sure it's as bad as Warrior, maybe I just got some bad choices, but Rogue seems hard as hell as well. Two runs both went to a final boss but I had no shot against The Darkness either time. Nothing unfair about my deck so I really had no shot to compete with him.
---

I got to fatigue The Darkness as Shaman. Felt amazing. Thrall is very good against one 5/5 per turn once you run him out of removal and board wipes. AND I had double battlecry, which let me evolve my board for +4 mana on play, which is nuts.
---

I had a hard time with Rogue too, on the winning run I think I took like nine jade shurikens and spell damage and buried everyone in the first six turns

I'm really, really liking Demonlock

Current priest list I'm running. Currently 4 stars into rank 4. I've played about 15 IMO the deck might be too strong as the only real deck that gives me significant issues are spell hunters (probably the worst matchup) and kingsblade rogues. Secret mages that don't run aluneth can also be a problem, but the ones that do almost always deck themselves before they can actually kill me. Traditional non dragon priests (running Velen/Mind Blast) are also problematic because my deck trades the burst for longer value. Cards like Duskbreaker just gives me another clear versus aggro and psychic scream almost single handily gives me an edge against jade. Twilight Acolyte is just icing on the cake. I've played 16 games with the deck (between ranks up to where I am now in Rank 4) and my record is 13-3 with it atm.

Stampede + Boots of Haste + Captured Flags + generated starving buzzard on turn 2 = One fucked dragon


---

just built an insane cthun deck

had 4 cthuns, got to pick cthun every chance except twice which still gave me cthun buffers. got the passive that makes cthun cost only 5 mana. got the passive that makes battlecries trigger twice

triggered too many things in the trapped room and got rekt early

RIP
---

I built a silly control warlock with a lot of demons and double health and steamrolled pretty easily. I think I still had around 60 hp when I beat the final boss (togwaggle)
---

Huzzah!
---

Watching Day9 play right now and it looks like his prediction is going to be right. Piratestone will be strong this expansion. Looks like I'm skipping another expansion.
---

I have played zero games of constructed since the expansion.

What's a tl;dr on the meta?

Actually I think tempo priest with pirates and keleseth is doing better than control priest.
---

Oh actually control warlock is good right now if you want to play it
---

Unfortunately I'd have to invest everything to make a CW right now. No DK, no Oakheart, no anything really.
---

Pirates are going to be good until patches rotates.

I said before that I don't think much is going to change in this set due to it being the last one in the format.

So I cleared dungeon run with all 9 classes, I got the message for the card back, and I can't pick it in my collection. WTF?

you need to relog

i genuinely can't wait for mean streets to rotate out

i think april's meta is going to be FRESH AS HELL

I might try this, or something like it, if I had the corridor creepers. I do have 800 dust, but I'm reluctant to craft anything right now.

I must be the only one who likes the cards from Mean Streets...then again, I play a jade deck that's not druid, and have generally been able to handle pirate warrior, so it's really just the anduin raza stuff that's troublesome.
---

I've seen creepers in nearly every class so I'd say it's a safe craft unless you plan on only playing control.
---

Also I've been struggling with that deck at rank 8, but I feel like it's more bad luck than the deck being bad.

I've played the same classes and decks, but have consistently drawn Patches or had a rough start in my past 10 games.

At the same time, I was up at an 85% winrate after 30 games or so which was definitely unsustainable. I'm down to a more reasonable 65% after 44 games.
---

Opened Skull of the Manari, so I guess Ill give control Warlock a shot soon. Only had enough dust for one voidlord so far though.
---

Woo beat dungeon and got the card back

Still haven't run into Azari at all though

So uh....double deathrattle + Val'anyr is one fucking HELL of a drug.

Sadly this is the only time I pulled it off in that run. I completed it, but my final boss was The Darkness so I had to cheese him with Uther's horsemen.
---

Good thing you're the only who mentions it!
---

I have a janky midrange hunter that is doing alright.

People expect spell hunter I guess because they've been making weird plays against me.
---

Tundra Rhino into Full Emerald Spellstone is pretty unfair the 1/500 times it works.
---

So I got rekt as Priest by the Trogg boss that draws a card every time that you cast a spell and the card only costs 1, plus other minions like Burgle Bully and Burly Rock jaw Trogg that punish you for casting spells. He had a full board of shit and got me to 5 health. It looked hopeless.

Then he played the mighty MILHOUSE MANASTORM

I had Lyra in my hand

After hitting both the 10 and 40 card pity timers to start the expansion, my luck has turned around. I went another 25 or so packs without a legendary, but now I've opened three straight packs with one. Rogue weapon, Druid weapon and now Ixlid. Won't play either of the latter two, but gold borders are gold borders.

Later today I fully expect to break a toe or something to even things out.

I think I've only ever beaten that guy by fatiguing him. It's so easy to mill most of his deck if he gets a burgly bully out.
